Meyli Nohemy Palomo Orellana

22 years old / Homeowner

Meyli works far from her home selling fruits and vegetables. She is a single mother and lives with her daughter. Meyli was not at home during the interview, so her mother provided the information.

Aleina Victoria Orellana Palomo

3 years old / Meyli’s daughter

Aleina does not attend kindergarten yet, but she is excited to start. Her grandparents take care of her while her mother works.


The house was built by Meyli’s father and is made of bahareque and mud; her family also helped with the construction. The roof has many leaks, and during the rainy season, the walls become weak due to moisture.
